Building Program Releases With Unique IDs?
Oct 5, 2009
I currently have a windows services application written in vb.net 2008I want to mass build releases/installers that can carry an unique ID.So that each of my client can download an unique copy of the programMy windows services app must be able to access that unique ID.Heres an live scenario:I have 10000 clients, they can login to my website to download my program.Lets say client #10 downloads my program, the program will be able to read a value somehow that will give "10".The program downloaded by client #500 will be able to read the "500" value.The only ideas i can think of are:- Make the installer read the file name of the installation file, and add a registry key depening on part of the file name.

How can you simulate keypresses and releases? I know you can essentially hit a key with Sendkeys.SendWait, but how can your code press and hold q, for example? I essentially wish to be able to call something like press("q") and release("q"). The effect would be the same as physically holding them down.

I was looking at making a program which can then build other seperate .exes, is this possible? For example the user types their mail username/password into my program then this builds a seperate one which just connects to their mail with their username/password.

In our company we have some specific softwares that have several releases during a year and we were wondering to notify the clients about new releases automatically. How can we code this functionality? I mean from where should we begin? we have an ftp which will contain those files. And How is that possible for us just to do the upgrade without uninstall and re-installing the whole package?

Im trying to see if you can make a GUI that can edit the Source code of your progam and then building it as an .exe..Say you have a login program and you wanted to change the password, All you do is go to the "Edit My Account" and go to password and then enter your old password and in the next textbox your new password.Then you would click save and it will ask for a directory and save it as .exe. And when you would start your newly compiled program you can used the program you just entered in.

I have a VB.NET/C# Visual Studio 2010 Solution with a bunch of projects that depend on about 30 third-party DLLs all from 1 vendor. This third-party vendor recently released a new version of their software so I would like to parallel test their new software and my enhancements until I am comfortable to switch over. What is the best way to setup a solution in Visual Studio 2010 so that I can use the code I have developed on top of these third-party DLLs and have the opportunity to easily switch between:
(1) the new version of the third-party DLLs [for my testing] and
(2) the old version of the third-party DLLs in case I need to debug some problem a user is having.Third party assemblies ARE NOT in GAC (they're currently in a folder on a network drive). They are NOT strongly signed (ran sn -vf ). They are changing from version 5.4.618.0 to 5.4.619.60.

I am building a program that calculates the number of books by points.Ex: 1-3 books read are worth 10 points, 4-6 are worth 15 and > 6 are worth 20. The issue I'm having is getting it to calculate the the first 3 books, the 2nd 3 books and then the > 6.Ex: User inputs 8 books read. It should display 115 in the label.
1. I'm using an If statement (should I be)
2. Could I use a decimal for the > 6?
Ex: intTotalNumberOfBooks = (intTotalNumberOfBooks * intFirst3Books) *#D
I know this is something simple and it's out of VB 101, but it is my very first programming class and my professor uses a copy paste method during class.

I have a requirement to construct a Arena simulation model using an entirely separated external VB program, instead of using the build-in VBA programming capabilty. I have some progress on building such program, but not satisfied with the behavior.
Is it possible to create a Model without starting the Arena.exe?If the program halt for any reason (such as termination of debugging) during the model creation steps, the subsequent call to the CreateObject function failed with result like "Cannot create ActiveX/Com objects". This error still occurs even if I manually kill the Arena.exe via the Task Manager. How to avoid this?
-- Current Code --
Try
arenaApp = CType(CreateObject("Arena.Application"), Arena.Application)
arenaModel = arenaApp.Models.Add

I am using VB .Net to access the eBay API and store all completed orders in a database. This database is then fed into a proprietary shipping system, which can not handle an order number larger than 20 characters. eBay returns an order number like so 230407279314-680141236013 which is too long. The order number is always 12 numbers a hyphen and 12 more numbers. What I need to do, is turn this (the result can be alpha numerical) into a shorter, unique order key to store in my database alongside the true orderId (so that this can be referenced by the shipping software instead of the actual order number). The reason for the 20 character limit is the barcode algorithm used. Is there any way to achieve this in VB .Net 2010? This number can be anything unique, so long as it does not exist already (even a good uniqueid function would work, but I would have to query the database to make sure it isn't taken)

I am making a maze game like the one shown in the how to, I recently discovered that if you hold the right mouse button a you can go through the wall. Is there a way to make the mouse lock and not move when the user trys to hold the button down
or
When the user releases the button it resets. Like in the web browser with
If e.KeyCode =
Keys.Enter
Then
e.SuppressKeyPress =
True
WebBrowser1.Navigate(ToolStripTextBox1.Text)
But with the mouse button when it releases send the cursor back to start.

I want to generate random datasets with regex.
Therefore I have an expression like [a-z]{10}.I want to generate maybe 200.000 data - maybe more (it should be generic), every data should be unique.
How can i implement that?at the moment i have a algorithm, that generates a random string, then search in an array that stores the values, if the string is already in there it repeats that process. Otherwise it stores the string in the array.

building a program at the moment that changes registry entries to turn on and change, and off proxy settings. This small program is going to be dropped on each persons desktop so they can easily turn on the proxy in work, and turn it off when they take their laptop home.
However, the proxy address changes depending on which company I am at. I would like to be able to make a single program, but have a "hidden" setting to change the proxy and store it in the program, and push a copy of the file out across the network to each machine. I tried to make it so the proxy address can be saved as a string in My.Settings, but it would have to be made as a User setting rather than an application setting to give it read-write access.The only other option I can think of is to hard-code the proxy address into the program, which really isn't ideal

I could not figure out the key to installing folders/subfolders/.rtf files during deployment/installation. The key here is to 'add' folders and subfolders to the project in solution explorer, then adding existing item (.text (.rtf files in my case) files) then selecting the .rtf file in solution explorer.go to its properties and under 'Build Action' select 'Content' (very Important!). Then under 'Copy to Output' select 'Copy if newer'!Then in code to access these files you use the following code:
Me.RichTextBoxDisplay.LoadFile(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "KJV BibleOTExodusExodus KJV.rtf"))
Finally after 3 days of research and 2 days at the msdn forum picking peoples minds (smarter than mine) and lots of prayer, I got it!

I am building a program that strips out certain keywords from a much larger file. I am using code that .paul. provided in a different post, but I can't get it to work correctly. Here is the code that I am using: [code] Basically, the first match will appear in textbox2, but no other matches appear after that. I put a breakpoint at the For Each loop and checked out the locals. I am showing 2,502 matches for the variable "match." I just now put another breakpoint in there and I can see that it is stepping, but nothing is recorded.In the archive is a file named debout.txt. This file should be used for the testing.

I have a search engine that will use a webservice to search through my database to find 3 specific things. I don't even know if it will work like this, but I have a dropdown list on my main page to select Product, Feature, Description. From what the user selects, the webservice should then go to an if statement to use the correct SELECT statement and find results for the search.
Will someone help me figure out how to fix what I've written to make it work? Please don't be too critical, I don't have a lot of experience. I have also been researching SQL Injection because I have a lot of code that is vulnerable so keep that in mind when you look at my code.
I can't get the blue squiggly lines to go away that are underneath the DropdownList1.Value instances on the WebService page.
WebService:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function GetCompletionList(ByVal prefixText As String, ByVal count As Integer) As String()
Dim Feature As String = DropDownList1.Value
Dim Description As String = DropDownList1.Value
Dim Product As String = DropDownList1.Value
[CODE]..........................
Default.aspx page - Here I need the dropdownlist to tie to the database somehow.
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
